International Journal of Cyber Forensics and Advanced Threat Investigations

The International Journal of Cyber Forensics and Advanced Threat Investigations (CFATI) is the first open access, peer-reviewed, scholarly journal, that is dedicated entirely to the study of tools, techniques, procedures, and methodologies of Red, Yellow, and Blue practitioners. The journal publishes original research, practical, review, case studies, and legal analysis articles in all areas of cybersecurity, digital forensics, incident response, and threat investigations. The journal also aims to attract more women to join the field of cybersecurity and forensic investigations, and encourage submissions from all women authors whose work fits with the Focus and Scope of the journal. The journal is served by a dedicated international editorial board to give a thorough swift editorial response. The Editor-in-Chief of the Journal will be glad to receive original articles, which are not considered for publication elsewhere, on subjects covered by the Journal.
